Updates - you need your registration codes and email address so you can use online updates and install from online repositories. YAST -> Software Management -> Configuration -> Online Update. This will launch browser and lead you to novell site where you need to enter your registration email/codes so the server can be authenticated as licensed one. If everything is ok the new repositories will be added automatically.

Note #2

Time between all servers in the tree must me synchronized. Use same time server for both servers.

Note #3

If you get error about Secure LDAP connection with Novell NetWare 5.x you need to generate valid certificate for Secure LDAP on NetWare with ConsoleOne app.

Note #4

"This user does not have the correct credentials to authenticate to the CIMOM client."
You get this error when trying to add the new server to existing tree. This is bug in installation process. The Unix Config Object which is needed to map users between eDirectory and linux/unix workstation/servers is not created in installation process. Solution is to remove /etc/nam.conf file and recreate it with namconfig.

Adding replica to the newly connected server
Open your iManager with a browser, login to old server and then add the replica:

Partitions and Replica Management -> Replica View

Enter tree name: .YourTreeName. and hit OK. Now you can see your servers and replicas. Use the "Add Replica" button. If you get an error try using 'ndsrepair' on all servers and then try again.

Note #8

You can use miggui tool to transfer existing files/services to the new server but if you have files in cyrillic or in some other encoding created in the old days when nobody cared about encodings this tool won't work.
